PCA Skin Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel

I've reviewed a number of eye creams and eye treatments on here and most of you have probably heard me lament about how dark circles are my primary issue. I'm always seeking out products that specifically target them but I don't want to forget about other concerns like wrinkles fine lines, puffiness and sagging. PCA Skin Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gel is a product that has been specifically formulated to treat multiple eye concerns so I had to try it.About the Brand: The PCA SKIN brand was founded in 1990 by an aesthetician and developed by a dermatologist. PCA SKIN has been and continues to be a trusted innovator in the development of highly effective professional treatments and daily care products. PCA SKIN products are scientifically developed and carefully formulated to improve the health and appearance of skin using the best combinations of innovative ingredients to produce safe, highly effective products that deliver on their promises. PCA SKIN products are cruelty-free and free of potential irritants like synthetic dyes and fragrances.Product Claims:This cutting-edge eye gel strengthens, firms and lifts the skin around the entire eye area with a unique formulation that utilizes the latest science, combining proven ingredients that can be applied directly to all areas around the eye, including the eyelid, to treat all the common concerns of the aging eye area and achieve dramatic results rapidly. It's light gel texture is suitable for all skin types.

How to Use:After cleansing and applying skin care, pat a small amount around the eye area and directly to the eyelid twice daily.

My Thoughts: The product is a clear and scentless gel with a silky texture that is easily absorbed through gentle patting which is usually how I like to apply all my facial and eye care products. I've been using it twice a day for a week and while I can't say that I've seen any visible results yet, this gel does do a good job of moisturizing, smoothing and firming up the eye area. I usually use richer creams and I was initially concerned that it wouldn't provide enough hydration. It does and I'm excited about seeing some more long term results in terms of dark circles and puffiness as I continue using this. I've always used creams but I quite like the lighter weight of the gel and it'll be good especially during the summer months. The company also makes this product in a richer texture which is their Ideal Complex Restorative Eye Cream that I will have to check out if I continue to see positive results with this eye gel. I had no issues with irritation or sensitivity while using this product. Yes it is a little pricey but if it works, it's worth it to me. I'd rather pay more for products that actually work than drop a bunch of cash on less expensive ones that don't anyway. I've been sleeping pretty well lately so the dark circles have been less vexing and I hope this gel will further help to eradicate them.PCA Skin Ideal Complex Revitalizing Eye Gelis available for sale through the PCA SKIN websiteand through physicians and licensed skincare professionals throughout the US and over 50 countries worldwide.

Thus revitalizing gel product sounds amazing! It is true that at 84 dollars it's a bit pricy but as you say isn't it better to pay for one products that actually works than to bother with dozen of products that don't (and probably end up paying more and spending more time using them). When we find something that really works for our skin, some product that our skin likes and responds well to, we should go for it.

I'm happy to hear that you've been spleeping well lately. It's almost nine a.m here and I'm still in bed. It had suddenly gotten colder and I kind of like it. It's like the last farewell to Winter before Spring really kicks in. :)

I remember you saying that you have a problem with dark circles. It's good that there are products that deal with it, and I hope that this one will do the job. I also opt for lighter moisturizers and gels during the warm months. Have a nice day ahead, Rowena!

I love that this range was created by a dermatologist. Like you, I am a little hesitant to use lightweight eye cream because my mature skin usually needs something heavier but glad to hear it worked well for you. I'll check out their website, free shipping is a huge bonus.

I so agree that it's worth it to pay more for skin products than waste a lot of money trying cheaper ones that don't work. I fall into the latter group TBH, and have just been buying cheap ones from the drugstores but haven't really seen the result I want...sigh...methinks it's time for a splurge soon. I like the sound of this gel, but haven't really been sleeping well lately so I might need a super heavy duty one...spackle perhaps:P

PS I'm stuck at Ep 14 right now, as the Viki likes to torture me and make me wait....waaaaaaaah!

I agree that if a product works, its worth spending that little bit more on it, as opposed to buying countless less expensive versions that don't work as well. I'm so pleased to hear this gel is working for you Rowena - though you and me both need to make sure we get more sleep to keep those dark circles at bay haha! :)

Thanks for the review. Glad to hear that it's working for you. I got a sample of this recently but haven't tried it yet. I have sensitive skin so it takes me a while to warm up to eye cream especially.
